Laterality. 2021 May;26(3):348-357. doi: 10.1080/1357650X.2021.1932983. Epub 2021 May 28.
In our recent opinion paper "Laterality 2020: entering the next decade", we highlighted trends that we thought are likely to shape laterality research in the 2020s. Our opinion paper inspired 11 commentaries by experts from several disciplines which discussed a wide range of topics complementing the 10 trends we identified in the opinion paper. In this reply, we summarize and discuss the 11 commentaries by clustering them into 3 different main topics. The topic that was covered by the largest number of commentaries was the role of comparative and evolutionary approaches in laterality research. Moreover, several comments focused on the ontogenesis of hemispheric asymmetries and the importance of reliability and validity in laterality research. Embracing the technical advances, research trends and controversies laid out in the commentaries will significantly improve our understanding of several of the core questions of laterality research.
在我们最近的观点论文“Laterality 2020：进入下一个十年”中，我们强调了我们认为可能会在 21 世纪 20 年代塑造偏侧性研究的趋势。我们的观点论文激发了来自多个学科的 11 位专家的评论，这些评论讨论了广泛的主题，补充了我们在观点论文中确定的 10 个趋势。在这篇回复中，我们通过将它们聚类为 3 个不同的主题来总结和讨论这 11 条评论。评论涵盖最多的主题是比较和进化方法在偏侧性研究中的作用。此外，一些评论还关注了半球不对称的发生和偏侧性研究中可靠性和有效性的重要性。接受评论中列出的技术进步、研究趋势和争议，将极大地提高我们对偏侧性研究核心问题的理解。
